<h1>Optimization Wizard</h1>
<p>There are 4 categories of optimizations, each with different options:</p>
<h3><font color="#990099">Tip</font></h3>
<p>If you wish to set advanced settings for any one of these options, there is a 
'...' button on the right of each check box.</p>
<h3><font color="#990099">Tip</font></h3>
<p>You can restore original settings by pressing the Restore button at the 
bottom of this wizard. This restores your current settings to the configuration 
just before this wizard was last run. The settings are backed up every time you 
apply optimizations.</p>
